So for Valentine’s day this year Mike & I decided to spend a couple days in Seattle then go hang with my momma in Port Angeles and we had a blast! Here is the photo story of our first day! Wondering the streets, hanging at the Pike’s Place public market, eating a ton of delicious food, riding the overpriced ferris wheel and getting up close an personal with gum wall… yes the gum wall! Gross!
Next chapter coming soon!

An old friend from high school saw this and sent it to me because it pretty much sums up my 4 teenage years at Thurgood Marshall. I was the free spirited, very different, wild child who got alot of negative attention as result. Being Bi-racial (“Coffee w/ Cream’ as my momma always used to say) and different in a very African-American school made me an easy target and it wasn’t until my senior year that people really began to understand and respect me. Needless to say, all the teasing and crying and confusion really just made me stronger…so the point of this story is to let you children be who they are, support them in their quirks, even when it hurts you and them…because one day it’ll all make sense and they will be the amazing person they were meant to be and the people who shunned them for it will still be lame.

This session has been months in the making, so we were both thrilled when we finally got together to make some magic…and magic we made! It was a beautiful crisp SF morning and we made our way around some of my favorite spots in one of my favorite places in the city…see for yourself! Can’t wait for our next one!!!

I’ve known Mar for years and was so very excited when I found out she was engaged and equally (maybe a little more excited) when I found out that I would have the honor of shooting what I know will be a fabulous wedding!!! Jon is her perfect match and oh so in love with our little Mar as she is with him and it shows in everything they do, not to mention everything I see on facebook and instagram as I currently stock them..just a little.
They LOVE going to Giants games together, hence their engagement session being at AT&T park and as you scroll down you’ll see a cute little stuffed bear (who I named “Valentino” because he was given to Mar from Jon on Valentines day and he still hadn’t been named!), he joined us for our shoot to help solidify their Black & Orange spirit and to be an adorable addition to our day. Not to mention his cute little bat is perfect for Mar’s ring! We were thrilled when we got to the park a realized it was open to the public that afternoon, but really mad when we got kicked out of the bleachers because of some private event. Not to worry, we snuck down anyways and snapped a few…take that security!!!!
After our ballpark adventures we headed to Half Moon Bay, the infamous place of Jon’s proposal, which we all had a good chuckle over hearing how smooth it didn’t go. Here’s what I’ll tell you…it started with “we need to talk” and I’ll let your imagination tell what was going through Mar’s head when he said that! So of course we decided to give Jon a do-over and I must say it went perfect…see for yourself!
I can’t wait for August 3rd! It’s going to be amazing!
